    @pawz recommended this book somewheres, maybe the late @creepycoug's shitty bored. Anyhow, really good, thanks.


    I just got done reading this too. Thank you @pawz. I appreciated how Voss acknowledged (unlike most business books) that there *is* quite a bit of emotion involved in negotiating. I almost wish we could do this as a book club selection.
    I legit use his stuff every fucking day.

    I tried using some of the techniques yesterday with a customer service agent but I botched it badly. Still, good practice and I know what I did wrong for next time.

    But I so far have had a 100% success rate with the “Are you giving up on x?” email.
    That one is FIRE.

    My favorite is offering someone the opportunity to say 'no'. Especially when they are 50/50 on doing something, they usually capitulate.

    Book club selection...

    How am I supposed to do that?
    Yore* the mod, make it so.
    Ps,

    How am I supposed to accept that answer when you organized the last book club read?


    Book club read...
    You can hang on your own ellipses*... ANSWER THE QUESTION!

    Nice to meet you, my name is Grundle. I'd sure like to do that, it's a fair request, but I simply have used all my bandwidth.
    So there is really nothing you can do, you're powerless?
